About us

OUR HISTORY

The roots of Fall Obsession began in July of 2010 as a small newsletter.  For nearly two years, Fall Obsession Owner & CEO Sam Thrash would write a single hunting related article each month and send it out to a very small list of subscribers.  In May of 2012, Sam converted Fall Obsession into an online Blog, and from there began sharing his personal hunting and outdoor experiences with the world.  Slowly, Fall Obsession’s online presence began to grow.

In 2015, Fall Obsession launched its very first Field Staff Program, which allowed hunters from other areas to join Fall Obsession and contribute to the platform with their own content, knowledge and experience. The Field Staff Program started small, but was such a quick success that soon a Pro Staff Level position was added, and more and more hunters began to join the team. Fast forward to today and Fall Obsession’s Pro and Field Staff Programs are thriving, and several members of that original 2015 Field Staff continue to serve Fall Obsession in various roles. Fall Obsession’s Staffers have all played a big part in the growth of the organization over the years, and Fall Obsession remains very proud of their contributions and accomplishments.

2018 became a pivotal year for the brand. This is when the transition was finally made from the old, original Blog format to the first generation of the website platform you see here today. This website has been custom designed for easy access and efficient delivery of the many forms of hunting and outdoor media we produce at Fall Obsession. Fall Obsession went through a “re-brand” during this time, recreating our appearance with the very distinguishable black and orange deer skull logo, along with redefining our company vision and goals for the future.

Now, over fifteen years after that first newsletter was sent, Fall Obsession reaches hundreds of thousands of hunters and outdoor enthusiasts nationwide. With over 40 individuals on Staff, Fall Obsession has grown into an effective organization, specializing in providing quality productions and online outdoor media for the everyday hunter and outdoorsman!

OUR MISSION

FAMILY | QUALITY | RESPECT | AUTHENTICITY

Empowering and inspiring men, women and children through quality content creation; enhancing the skills and knowledge of every-day outdoor enthusiasts

We strive to be the most reliable and trusted information source available for all hunters and outdoors men and women who are seeking further knowledge and education in various hunting and outdoor genres.  Through our own passion for hunting, our hard work, our personal experiences and our individual use of products, we hope to build a better generation of hunters and outdoor enthusiasts. No matter where you may hunt, or what your experience level might be, our goal is to have content relevant to you and your endeavors.

We work hard to earn your trust as a valued source of information.  We find value in reviewing any and all gear or products we utilize in the field. A majority of our product and gear reviews are from our very own Staffers, reviewing products they have field tested in real world situations and invested their own money into. For those companies which we do tie our name to in partnership, we stand by their effectiveness, and assure our followers they are found to be reliable and effective, based on our own field testing and approval. If it works for us, we promise it will work for you!

CONSERVATION

In addition to our constant educational and production efforts, Fall Obsession brings a heavy focus to wildlife conservation, science-based wildlife management, public land access and everyone’s right to hunt and fish. Without a consistent value and preservation of these things, future generations of hunters and outdoors men and women will not get to experience the same outdoor world we all know and love.

Through our content, our shows and our podcasts you will find a recurring theme of inspiration, education and advocacy as we remain actively involved in conservation efforts across North America. Whether it be from reaching others and informing them about current conservation issues and threats, supporting specific organizations who are working at local and legislative levels, or getting involved ourselves in our local States and communities; our Fall Obsession Team is active and vocal!

OUR STAFF

Our Administrative Staff is currently based out of North Texas, in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.  However, our footprint is much larger!  On top of our online presence, we are proud to have an amazing group of Pro and Field Staffers and Ambassadors representing us in 16 different states across the USA, and in Canada! 

Our Staff is more than dedicated to sharing their own experiences for the benefit of others, and encouraging others to do to the same. We each make it our priority to demonstrate tactically sound and ethical hunting at all times. We are not paid to do this, nor do we think of ourselves as celebrities in the outdoor industry.  We are normal people and every day hunters like you. We have normal jobs and regular lives and we each find ourselves in similar, every day situations as you.

All of our quality content is meant to be offered at a knowledge, experience and even financial level you can relate to. Everything we do revolves around a single purpose - making YOU a better hunter and feeding YOUR obsession!

We did not build Fall Obsession for us, we built it for you.  Fall Obsession is meant to be a beneficial educational tool for everyone.  As our hard work pays off and Fall Obsession continues to grow, we hope more and more hunters far and wide will be encouraged and find value in all that they find here.  After all, it's not just hunting...it's an obsession!
